Greetings,
Fishing in sarasota could not be better then it is right now.
Weather is flowing it's hot fiery steam during the day but the morning bite has been just fine.
We have been hitting the tarpon to the tune of one landed fish per 4 hour trip. For those that don't know about tarpon fishing....read about them then come back to comment. It's been terrific , all the fish have been in the 100 to 130 lb range and I have been pleased.
We also have been cashing in on some bull redfish that have taken residence on a few nearby beach locations.
John DuVall, son Brian and son-n-law Jason were out with me last week for 2 days of inshore fishing and bagged 4 trophy fish on 2 different 4 hour trips.
Their first trip was for reds and snook and we managed to chum up a small group of big redfish in the 20lb range. These fish were a nice surprise for us since I didn't plan on catching them:) After all I was in a snook spot how dare these redfish infringe on my chum baits, but we were very accommodating to them and welcomed their 15 minute battles in the turquoise clear waters of the gulf beach we fished. What a perfect day it was and the very next day was even better.
We used our leftover giant shiners for tarpon and had a blast. Brian hooked a big nasty of about 110 lbs and learned all about what it takes to land a big tarpon. Hours of steady give and take till beer time.
We also hooked up on some little tunnys that were foaming the nearby waters as we looked for tarpons.
The off shore fishing right now is dooing very well with little tunnys(15lb tunas), barracudas ,kingmackerel, blacktip sharks,permit and goliath groupers.
I also need to make a note about the many goliath groupers we have been catching. We have caught 26 this year so far and the fish have ranged from 150 -500 lbs. This is the biggest fish you will catch here in sarasota with any regularity and it's just a roit watching a person fight them too!
The action offshore is grand with barracudas hitting big live baits to tuna crashing my heavy chum slick of shiners, Sharks in between trying to keep us from bringing home dinner and all this fun we are having with light spinning tackle!!!!
Give me a call this summer all our customers have great success and walk away very pleased. I have chartered trips personaly in other countries and to my amazement was shammed with a bad day.
If there is a remote chance you might have a bad fishing day for either weather reasons or some other reason I will stear you in the right direction and let you know your other options.
Thanks for reading and checking me out here.
take care of each other,
Tommy Tinacci
